Scrapbooking, Tractor Ride

Ahh the warm colors of summer. I used this color pallet from Scrap Friends as my starting point for this page. Color challenges are always so tricky for me. I have particular colors that I like to use and have a difficult time meandering away from them. Part of it also tends to be that I don't have colors or hues in my stash that the color challenges always seem to want, but the warm colors was one I actually could make do with.

I am so happy with how the little pink polka-dot frame. I traced another frame I had lying around onto some white card stock. Then I colored it with a pink marker. Then I took a polka-dot stamp and stamped all around it. I am so happy with how cute it ended up being.

I also found this cute song challenge at Scrap Your Story. I knew I just had to add the ee-i-ee-i-oh. I didn't want to add old McDonald though because it is grandma and grandpa's farm and that would just be too silly. I also made another vellum shaker and this one came out really well. These shakers are starting to become an obsession! I used washi tape to close it off and it worked out really well. I didn't feel like getting my sewing machine out so I'm glad the washi worked out so well.

This page has some hidden journaling and another photo that I love from our little tractor ride. I wanted to do a lot more, but my little daughter had a bad tummy bug. So, I didn't have much time or energy left to scrapbook.

About Me

I like to try lots of crafty things, but mostly I stick to scrapbooking, clay, and painting. I'm starting to learn to sew too. I love to juggle and play handbells. My daughter she is making life crazy fun and little brother is melting our hearts.
